Amazon’s Jassy names new head for troubled retail business

By The Associated Press

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has named a new head for the company’s troubled retail business. It’s a unit that has been burdened with a glut of warehouse space after a massive expansion during the pandemic. Jassy said in a note sent to employees that Doug Herrington will become the new CEO of the consumer division. The division is also changing its name to “Worldwide Amazon Stores.” Herrington has been leading the company’s North American Consumer business since 2015. He replaces Dave Clark, who announced his resignation from the company earlier this month.
